CATALOGUE  OF  THE  COLLECTION  OF  METEORITES 

Since  the  publication  of  the  last  catalogue  of  the  meteorite  collection* 
the  collection  has  been  more  than  doubled  both  in  number  of  falls  and 
in  weight.  The  last  catalogue  listed  251  falls  and  a  weight  of  2,289 
kilograms;  the  present  catalogue  records  657  falls  and  a  weight  of 
7,566  kilograms.  This  great  increase  has  come  chiefly  through  the 
acquisition  of  the  Ward-Coonley  collection,  a  collection  which  numbered 
620  falls  and  had  a  weight  of  2,495  kilograms.  The  Ward-Coonley 
collection  included  that  of  James  R.  Gregory  of  London,  numbering 
406  falls,  and  that  of  Count  Julien  de  Siemaschko  of  St.  Petersburg, 
numbering  402  falls.  The  specimens  listed  as  belonging  to  these 
collectors  in  Wulfing's  cataloguef  are  now  therefore  chiefly  to  be  found 
in  the  Field  Museum.  Among  important  specimens  included  in  the 
Gregory  collection  were  an  individual  of  Youndegin  weighing  141  kilos 
(310  lbs.)  and  of  Nejed  weighing  48  kilos  (105  lbs.);  also  about  one- 
third  the  original  mass  of  Pipe  Creek.  The  Siemaschko  collection  was 
notable  especially  for  its  fine  series  of  Russian  and  Siberian  meteorites, 
among  which  were  a  large  individual  of  Indarch  weighing  18  kilos,  a 
large  mass  weighing  2.2  kilos  of  Mighei,  about  one-third  the  original 
mass  of  Pavlodar  (Jamyschewa)  and  a  large  mass  of  Tabory  (Ochansk). 
The  specimens  obtained  by  Professor  Ward  personally  included  masses 
of  Ilimaes,  Lampa,  Arispe,  Yanhuitlan,  Santa  Rosa,  Ballinoo,  Bar- 
ratta  and  Roebourne.  Individuals  or  large  masses  of  the  Bath  Furnace, 
Billings,  Bluff,  Canyon  City,  Castine,  Estacado,  Illinois  Gulch,  Luis 
Lopez,  McKinney,  Ness  County,  Oakley,  Petersburg,  Saint  Genevieve 
and  Surprise  Springs  meteorites  also  proved  important  features  of 
Professor  Ward's  collection,  and  the  amount  of  Canyon  Diablo  contained 
in  his  collection  was  the  largest  in  the  possession  of  any  collector.  In 
addition  to  the  material  obtained  from  the  Ward-Coonley  collection 
the  Museum  has  acquired  subsequent  to  the  publication  of  the  last 
catalogue,  representatives  of  about  50  falls.  These  included  the  total 
masses  of  Ahumada  (52  kilos),  Blanket  (3  kilos),  Leighton  (850  grams), 
Pickens  County  (380  grams),  Rodeo  (44  kilos),  South  Bend  (2  kilos) 
and  the  large  masses  of  Quinn  Canyon  and  Davis  Mountains  weighing 
1,450  and  690  kilos  respectively.

The  form  and  arrangement  of  this  catalogue  are  similar  to  those  of 
previous  catalogues  of  the  collection,  the  arrangement  being  an  alpha- 
betical one  for  all  falls,  with  a  description,  weight  and  number  for  each 
specimen.  The  classification  given  to  each  fall  has  been  in  the  main 
that  assigned  by  Brezina  in  the  Ward-Coonley  catalogue.*  Where 
obvious  discrepancies  occur,  however,  they  have  been  noted  by  the 
writer.  In  some  cases  where  there  was  a  lack  of  correspondence  between 
the  specimen  and  Brezina's  classification,  sufficient  material  did  not 
seem  to  be  at  hand  to  warrant  suggesting  a  change,  while  in  other 
cases  it  appeared  that  Brezina's  determination  might  have  been  based 
on  insufficient  material.  A  determination  of  the  classification  of  each 
meteorite  ;n  whatever  collection  possessed  the  largest  quantity  of  the 
fall  would,  in  many  cases,  be  desirable,  although  even  with  a  large 
amount  of  material  individual  judgments  might  differ.  The  writer 
has  followed  Cohen f  in  grouping  together  the  various  falls  of  Great 
Nama  Land  (Amalia,  Great  Fish  River,  Lion  River,  Mukerop  and 
Springbok  River)  under  the  single  name  of  Bethany.  This  reduces 
the  number  of  falls  from  that  region  considerably  from  those  usually 
listed,  but  the  great  similarity  of  the  etching  figures  of  these  meteorites 
make  it  seem  probable  to  the  writer,  as  it  has  to  other  authorities,  that 
these  masses  had  a  single  origin.  BerwerthJ  has  been  followed  in 
grouping  the  Japanese  falls,  Oshima,  Hishikari,  Maeme  and  Shigetomi, 
under  the  single  name  of  Kyushu.  In  the  case  of  Coahuila  the  various 
irons  have  been  grouped  according  to  the  practice  which  has  now 
become  common.  Effort  has  been  made  to  exclude  all  doubtful  falls 
and  if  in  the  practice  of  this  principle  some  specimens  which  may  later

prove  genuinely  meteoric  have  been  excluded,  the  injury  to  the  subject 
is,  in  the  opinion  of  the  writer,  less  than  if  the  opposite  policy  were 
pursued. 

Macquarie  River  and  Queensland  which  were  listed  in  Prof.  Ward's 
catalogue  have  been  discontinued,  Macquarie  River  because  it  has  been 
found  by  analysis  to  be  non-meteoric  and  Queensland  because  of  lack 
of  satisfactory  data  concerning  it.  The  illustrations  accompanying  the 
catalogue  show  some  individual  meteorites  of  the  collection  which  have 
not  been  previously  figured.

Found  1894 

Iron.     Coarsest  octahedrite.     Slab  7x4  cm.  with 
thick,  oxidized  crust  on  one  side  and  etched 
surface  on  the  other.     There  is  no  distinctive 
etching  pattern  visible  to  the  naked  eye,  but 
with  a  lens  a  few  taenite  ribbons  can  be  dis- 
cerned at  intervals.     The  history  of  this  me- 
teorite is  unknown  to  the  writer.     Ward  states 
in  his  1904  catalogue  that  this  specimen  is 
" the  largest  in  any  collection."     In  his  1901 
catalogue  what  is  undoubtedly  the  same  speci-
